Annie Savoy ist ein begeisterter Baseball-Fan. Jeden Frühling wählt sie sich einen neuen Spieler der "Durham Bulls" zu ihrem persönlichen Star aus und umschwärmt ihn leidenschaftlich. Doch diese Saison kommen gleich zwei Anwärter in die engere Wahl: Der großspurige Ebby Calvin LaLoosh, dem Annie zum Aufstieg in die Major League verhelfen will, und der als Spielerpersönlichkeit ewig verkannte, erfahrene Catcher Crash Davis, der LaLoosh betreuen soll.

A somewhat plankish 1980s baseball drama that at times evokes the end of the experimental 1970s thanks to shallow characters and a very relaxed atmosphere. Of course, the main asset is the leading trio, which you'll admire more in terms of acting talent than anything else, because when you look at the aforementioned actors today, several decades apart, it's just great fun to see a shivering Tim Robbins, a consistently "get laid" Susan Sarandon, and a soft-spoken, good-guy Kevin Costner, who, by the way, here trained his facial expressions for The Bodyguard, where he had a considerably better written character. There's little worthwhile about baseball, but it does have a lively vibe and it’s OK as a sports comedy.

An interesting comedy that can show you why baseball is fun, but also that even elite actors can pleasantly let loose and have fun. Susan Sarandon is incredibly charming here, but it's mainly Robbins and Costner who carry it in the end because they're focused on just a bit more. It doesn't matter at all because they are not boring.
